Tanzania: Water Basins Management to receive more funds in 2018/2019

The Minister of Water and Irrigation, Hon.Eng. Isack Kamwelwe (MP) has said that in the coming 2018/2019 fiscal year, the Tanzanian government plans to allocate enough funds to boost and sustain the management of water sources from all nine water basins.

“All these basins are of great importance for the country’s socio-economic development,” he said, adding: “That’s why we want to invest heavily in managing them for the current and future generations.” He said that apart from allocating enough financial resources, the government will also carry out massive eviction operation to remove all people who have invaded the country’s water sources.

He made the pledge when speaking to journalists alongside water stakeholders’ meeting held in Tabora Region recently.
